COMBINED SAW-SET, JOINTER, AND WRENCH SPECIFICATION forming part OfLetters Patent N0. 626,767, dated. June 13, 1899 Application filed March19, 1898. Serial No. 674,512. (No model.) I

thumb-nut 0, adapted to bear against the end v To all whom it mayconcern:

Be it known that I, ELISHA NOE, a citizen of the United States, residingat Larue, in the county of Clay and State of Kentucky, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in a Combination Saw-Set, Jointer,and rench, of which the following is a full and complete specification,such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same.

This invention relates to saw-sets; and it has for its object to providea simple and efficient saw-set device which will form a combination-toolcapable of operation as a sawset, jointer, or wrench.

The invention is fully disclosed in the fol-.

lowing specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, inwhich the separate parts of my improvement are designated by the sameletters of reference in each of the views, and in which- Figure 1 is aside view of the improved tool. Fig. 2 is a top edge view showing thesaw in position for setting. Fig. 3 is a bottom edge view showing thesame in position for jointing, and Fig. 4 is a face View of thesetting-die. Referring to the drawings, A designates the body of thedevice, which has a flat bottom edge or base a and a corresponding topsurface or edge a. The bottom or base edge a extends longitudinally withrespect to the body A, while the top surface or edge a eX- tends part ofthe length of the body to an incline or shoulder a leading downwardlyand rearwardly to a reduced portion a which forms the rear end of thedevice and serves as the handle portion when the latter is used as awrench. At the front end of the main portion of the body A is provided aflat face or edge a, while a similar flat edge a is provided at the endof the narrow or reduced rear portion a The wrench is formed by a jaw B,operating with respect to the end a (which end of the body thus formsone of the jaws of the wrench) and carried upon a stem 17, extendinglongitudinally through the body A at the base portion thereof, said stembeing accommodated in a corresponding opening in the body A and beingprovided with a projecting threaded rear end I), which carries a a ofthe reduced rear end portion a of the body.

At the vertex of the angle formed by the top edge a and the incline a isprovided a plated, against which the tooth lies in the operation ofsetting the saw. This plate ispreferably formed of hardened steel and isapproximately V-shaped, and it may be secured in a corresponding recessprovided in the body A at the vertex of said angle.

At the junction of the base of the incline a andthe front end of thereduced rear portion a is pivotally mounted, as at e, a setarm F,adapted to project upwardly with relation to the incline a and providedwith a head f, suitably beveled, as at f, and adapted to operate withrelation to the plate (1. The set is regulated by a screw g, upon whichthe saw-plate rests in operation, it being simply necessary to raise orlower the screw.

The operation and advantages of my invention will be readily understoodby those skilled in the art to which it appertains.

In the operation of setting a saw the device is rested upon its bottomedge or base a and the saw is placed upon the device with its toothunder the free-headed end of the pivoted set arm F, when the latter isstruck with a hammer. In the operation of jointing the saw with myimproved device the sharpening-file is placed in position within thewrench be tween the wrench-jaw B and the jaw formed by the end a of thebody A, andthe wrench device is tightened up by operation of the set-nutc. In the operation of jointing the set-arm F can.be thrown back uponits pivot 6, so that it will fold down into the position shown in dottedlines in Fig. 1, (as it would otherwise form an obstruction,) and thescrew 9 is also removed. The saw can be set up on handles or laid upon aplank, and then the jointer is placed on, and inasmuch as the slide thatslips along the saw-plate is straight and the wrench holds the file in aperfectly or exactly square relative position the device will operate toleave the teeth in a perfectly level condition.

The device is adapted for effective operation in the setting or jointingof any kind of more eiiicient.

Having fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1.,In a device of the class described, thecombination with the body having a reduced portion, of a set-armpivotally connected with said reduced portion, an angular plate securedto said body and slanting upwardly from said reduced portion, saidreduced portion forming a handle, the opposite end of the body forming aWrench-head, and a Wrenchjaw operating with respect to said wrenchheadand carried bya stem projecting through said body, substantially as andfor the purpose set forth.

2. In a device of the class described, the combination with the bodyforming at one end a wrench-head, of a Wrench-jaw operating with respectto said wrench-head and carried by a stem projecting through said bodyand a set-arm pivotallysecured to said body, substantially as and forthe purpose set forth.

3. In a device of the class described, the combination with the bodyforming at one end a wrench-head, of a Wrench-jaw operating with respectto said wrench-head and carried by a stem projecting through said body,a setarm pivotal] y secured to said body, means secured to said body foradjusting the saw to be set'and means for adjusting said wrenchjaw,substantially as and for the purpose set forth. v

at. A combination tool ordevice of the class described, comprising thebody having the main portion provided with a fiat top edge and with anend operating as a wrench-jaw and having the reduced portion in rear ofsaid main portion, a wrench-jaw operating with respect to said end andcarried upon a stem mounted in the body, means for adjusting saidWrench-jaw, and a set-arm pivotally mountedat the base of the rear endof the larger main portion of the body and having a head adapted tooperate with respect to the top edge of the same, said set-arm beingadapted to fold down upon the reduced portion, substantially as and forthe purpose set forth.

5. The herein-described combination tool or device, comprising the bodyhaving the longitudinal flat or straight base edge and embodying theenlarged portion provided with the flat top edge and the reduced rearportion, the front end of said body at its enlarged portion beingadapted to form a wrenchjaW, a Wrench-jaw operating with respect to saidend and carried upon a stem projecting through the body, set devicesupon said stem for adjusting the wrench, and the set-arm pivotallymounted at the base of the rear end of the larger portion of the bodyand having a head operating with respect to the top edge of the same,substantially as and for the purpose set forth. 7

-In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signedmyname, in presence of the subscribing Witnesses, this 14th day ofMarch, 1898.
